A visit from an old friend

Not that she's old...we've just been friends since elementary school.

My friend Megan came up from Tooele to have lunch and "hang out" and catch up. I haven't seen her for at LEAST 3 years.

We went to dances together in high school. (we didn't get our pictures taken together, we were poor!)

(Yes, she married her high school sweetheart!)
Her kids are so big! I can't imagine! Her daughter, Kyra, is 15!!! Can you believe that? Could you imagine me having a 15 year old? Could you imagine Brooklyn being 15?! Heaven help us all...because that day will come...hopefully not too soon! Her son Josh is 13...Jared is 8 and Abby is 6.

My family was going on vacation to St. George, and it was right around the time that Megan had Kyra...so I remember we stopped in to say Hi and see her.

I remember driving to Battle Mountain, NV to see Josh when he was born.

I remember visiting her in the hospital when she was put on bed rest when she was pregnant with Jared. He was the cutest little premie baby I had ever seen.

I visited her in Tooele when she had Abby. It was fun catching up with her.

It's sad how our lives get so busy and we loose track of friends that we have had for so long, but luckily, we have been friends for so long that it's good to see each other again! Josh and Jared and Abby were so cute playing with Brooklyn & Brison. Brison would try to pick up Josh and Jared and he was grunt and then step back and say "heavy!"

They were fun. Kyra is such a pretty young woman! She'll be driving soon and dating and I think Megan is freaking out over that! I told Kyra when she was old enough and driving, she could come over and I would let her read all the notes that me and Megan wrote each other in high school and junior high. Yes, I still have some of them. I even have the letters that Matt (her husband) wrote me when he moved to Washington for a while. Oh, the memories of growing up and the things we did! Megan told me that those were CONFIDENTIAL and that I couldn't share. Well, you're not my mom...and I never did anything you told me to before!

She's probably going to kill me for those pictures...but I was just sitting here thinking, I probably have some old pictures of her! HA!
